Talk about a powerful ticket: American historian and author Alexis Coe and former Daily Show head writer Elliott Kalan have teamed up to co-host the Audible Original series Presidents Are People Too!, which, according to its website, “turns what was probably one of the least memorable stretches of your American History class into fascinating portraits of real-life people, complete with flaws, quirks, triumphs, scandals, and bodily ailments.”

You can bet this involves plenty of research, wit, snark, and more research, so it follows that they’ve got some phenomenal recommendations. These are the Audible books that they have found to be essential in working on Presidents Are People Too! episodes — including several written by guests on the show.
